General

Should be called The Sexy Gaming Guido.

Thanks buddy!

Does anyone have some video suggestions, critiques, or any feedback I can use to improve?

Finally got around to doing an unboxing of my Game & Watch. Nothing too special, but meh...

I LOVE the little funny things you do on Instagram stories. So good. So sarcastic. I love it.


For lengthier Youtube stuff, I'd suggest maybe either getting a better mic that plugs into your camera, or get something like a Zoom H1N ($100) and sync the audio afterwards in post. It will sound so much better.

What are you using to record these? iPhone? You can get a little Lavalier mic that plugs into an iPhone and it does a great job.

As for content - show/tell us about your favorite games. Show/tell us about the games that have been the hardest to obtain. etc.

That was amusing when you bleeped out a cuss word with the coin collection sound on one of your Mario videos.

Which tune was playing in the background before you turned on the Game & Watch? Couldn't identify it.

You mentioned Game & Watch Gallery. Wow. Havent heard those titles in awhile. Those games bring me back. One of my favorite minigames in that series was in Game & Watch Gallery 3, where you play as Yoshi and you eat cookies, but you had to avoid eating Bob ombs.

You could also unlock the game Flagman. Used to play that too, see how far I could get.

@Sid_Ceaser Thanks man! I've been so behind with my Instagram lately.

Was the audio in that video bad? I actually used one of my Blue Yeti microphones, recorded that separately on a netbook, and sync the audio while editing, maybe the fact I forgot to clear up background noise in audacity before exporting the audio as a WAV?

I actually used my old DSLR, a Nikon D5100. I think for future videos, I'd like to use my phone. I currently have a Galaxy S10e, which records video in 4K. Not the best phone camera on the market, but still very good!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm trying to figure out the best layout for videos like that.

@Bleed_DukeBlue haha thanks man. I considered bleeping out the "fudge" in this latest video, but ultimately decided to just leave it in. Maybe I'll go back to editing out swear words.

@nonamesleft I used a chiptune midi remix of the Oil Panic theme from Game & Watch Gallery. I tried keeping all the music in-line with the content of the video!

Man I absolutely love the Game & Watch Gallery series. I've been wanting to make a video on them. I had them all as a kid, and believe I still own them to this day. I even have those two Club Nintendo exclusive Game & Watch DS games. I just love the Game & Watch overall. I currently only own the 3 shown in the video, a still unopened Game & Watch Ball from Club Nintendo, and a few of the Nintendo Mini Classics keychains. I'd love to own more of them some day!


Thanks for the feedback guys! Feel free to post on the video too. Every like and comment helps. Especially starting out

After watching the upload, I think I used too high of a compression in Premier. I think that might have affected both the audio and video,

Oh well, not going to rerender the video and reupload now. Duly noted for next time though!

Ah, Oil Panic. So that's what it was. I knew it was a chiptune of some sort. Just couldn't identify it. Ah, chiptunes. So good.

I remember those Club Nintendo DS Games. Game & Watch Collection. Pretty cool that you have both.

I think both of mine are the Japanese version. That said there's very little difference, since the in-game text is in English.

Maybe add stories about your games you have or picked up recently? Like how you obtained them or what they mean to growing up and now?

Hey guys! I've rebranded my channel and updated the original post. I've added in additional questions and a help wanted section!

I have been working on a video review for a while now, and it is almost complete. It will be done and posted either tomorrow or Friday.

I don't tend to watch videos with lots of swearing. Just not my thing. So I may not be your target audience

Not sure why you were negged, I appreciate the input.

I naturally swear sometimes, but I'm not talking super vulgar or anything. My latest video I'm finishing up right now actually didn't need any censoring

Frank wrote:

I'm just now seeing your videos Frank my brother and dont take this the wrong way but you're a HANDSOME man!

Muy caliente!😁👍

@Mattman2 That's not a compliment I get often, so I'll take it

I'll be posting the video tomorrow. Should go live at 2:00PM EST. Here's a preview until then

Saw your new video. Well done! I also like your "to do" list. Of course we're gonna read that.

@citizen_zane thanks man, I appreciate it! You also reminded me I forgot to share it in here. Any likes, comments, and feedback is always appreciated as always!

I'm starting a new series of videos that aren't reviews. I'm going to make my attempts at a top 5 video.

I have a ton of topics in the pipeline, but are there any that you guys would like to see?

Top 5 Mario games that aren't well known. Like your favorite, Mario is Missing!

Top 5 games in your collection that you hate to play (didn't age well, you didn't like it to begin with, associated with a bad memory, etc)

Top 5 video game soundtracks.

Top five non-Mario kart racing games.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep them coming! Got a few docs going with some lists brewing. Two videos have some scripts in the works

citizen_zane wrote:

Definitely want to do that one. Now I somehow need to find a copy of Konami Krazy Racers

Garfield Kart is a must

Kommie wrote:

Possibly in a follow up. Much better/obscure ones to pick from.

Just watched the latest video, great job Frank. You got the chops for this, for sure. Very entertaining.

You could almost do a kart racing video about N64 games. There were so many on that system.

citizen_zane wrote:

While not a kart racer, one of my favorite arcade racers of all time was on the N64, called Beetle Adventure Racing.

citizen_zane wrote:

Right now, the script I have has 5 games on different platforms. Maybe an N64 one would be fun too!

SwiftJAB wrote:

I've never played that one, but I remember reading good things about it when it came out.

citizen_zane wrote:

I regret not buying it for a buck back when I was working at a resale shop. We got it in constantly, and employee price would have only been a buck. I totally should have stocked up on cheap 64 games.

Frank wrote:

Reading from the dictionary, ha! And the suit of armor and other stuff. I liked the incorporation of humor

You mentioned that Toodee and Topdee is Steam only. Surprising. It very much looks like it could/would be a handheld game.

Good job on the video!

@nonamesleft thank you bud! I appreciate the feedback

I made a video yesterday to upload today. It doesn't go live on YouTube until noon, but I'll post the link now. Maybe the video will work ahead of time

Would you guys be interested in me doing a 5-8 minute video on my Garage Sale pickups from the year?

I spent the last 20 minutes coming up with a rough script. It could be fun!

If you found some really odd things that we may not have heard about, totally interested in that. I'm not all that interested in the find, more so the uniqueness of the object. If you've just got a list of video games that I've most likely heard about, I'll pass.

Frank wrote:
Definitely. Sounds interesting. And if it has unique/interesting items like SwiftJAB mentioned, even better.

I think I've got a decent list with some variety. I'm happy to share a rough script, or a list of the items featured if you guys want to check it out. Maybe tell me if it'll even be worth producing

YES!!! So far so good man! I am liking your vids so far. Obviously, these aren't DigitalFoundry levels yet, but I think they are a great launching point.

The editing looks really good, and I can definitely tell you spent time doing the WRITING for your videos...which is maybe one of the most important parts. I'm not super into the unboxings, mostly because those are often off-the-cuff...and can be quite difficult to make look/sound more professional.

When I look at early videos from other Youtubers (both famous and not), I'd say yours hang in there quite well

Thanks bud! I'm also working with 9 year old editing software, so I am limited to some degree. Hopefully, if I can start monetizing or making money off my content, I can afford to purchase an Adobe Cloub subscription.

I appreciate you mentioning the writing as well, I think it's often one of the most overlooked parts of videos. I've noticed a lot of big-time YouTubers with not-so-great writing. That's probably due to them paying others to write scripts, but I digress.

I have a new video premiering tomorrow at 3:30 PM EST. It's not the greatest IMO, but the site I worked with was ecstatic about how it turned out. Guess that's the important part
